SEARCY, Ark. (AP & KLRT) - A lawsuit over who owns a $1 million scratch-off Arkansas lottery ticket that a woman pulled from a convenience store trash can was settled out of court, a defense attorney said Friday.

Jury selection was set to begin Friday in White County for a trial to decide who should keep the winnings from the "Diamond Dazzler" ticket that Sharon Duncan bought in July 2011 at a convenience store in Beebe, about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock. Duncan said she threw away the ticket after a scanner said it wasn't a winner, and Sharon Jones pulled the ticket from the trash and claimed the jackpot.

Lisa Petriches, the convenience store's manager, sued Jones, claiming Jones illegally took the ticket from the bin that had been marked "Do not take." Duncan joined the lawsuit after a judge determined she might be the true owner of the ticket.

Jones' attorney Jimmy Simpson said a settlement was reached Friday. Simpson told The Daily Citizen the terms of the settlement were confidential and sealed but Jones was pleased with the outcome.
